    Tasty innards.

    Fresh, friendly and fast! Very filling three taco plates. The cold beers on tap were refreshing after our morning on the river. We sat outside under lots of shade.

    Gorilla Rock Tacos = Vibes! The river tacos were , the pineapple rose cider was delish, and the outdoor patio was super chill . Killer combo of great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

    We tried this place STRICTLY because they carried Humble Sea and my boyfriend is a fan. I split the River tacos with my boyfriend and they were fantastic. We will be back because we camp next door and this place really is good. The portions are great also. I don't understand why some reviews complain about the price? I thought the food was all priced fairly.

    Don't let the sauce on the River deter you. It's mostly cabbage and not saturated. It's FIRE!

    Half tempted to leave this review because I don't want anyone to know how special this place is. Ambience, super cool with a chill vibe and the outside is covered with bistro lights, music playing and relaxing. Food: Incredible! Chips are made to order...what?! So fresh! And the salsa is perfection. We got 3 regular beef tacos and one River on the side. Not to take away from the beef tacos but the shredded chicken in the River was stupid good! We live an hour away and can't to come back and support these awesome owners again soon. Hats off!

    Just got off the River? This is your place to go. Came here because they had a patio area to bring our dog. There were misters in the patio area and water bowls for dogs. This is not authentic Mexican food, more of an American twist to it but it was delicious. I got the gorilla burrito which had white rice, black beans, shredded chicken, cheese and salsa. Came out fresh and delicious. My husband has the tacos and enjoyed the lime crema on top with the avocado. We both got the shredded chicken and agreed that it was nicely marinated.

    How many tacos come in an order?

    3 per order

    Has Gorilla Rock Taco opened for the 2025 season? It seems to be a seasonal restaurant. Their web site says, "open for 2024 season."?

They offered a variety of IPAs and stouts- it took a little time to find a beer I liked but the bartender was very nice and let me sample 3 different ones until I found one I liked. The ambiance is great and it's a nice spot for a quiet drink.

I understand he was upset probably because we took a table away from his potential tips, but to treat us the way he did is inexcusable. I asked if him if the food hadn't been made if we could cancel our order. He left and appeared to speak to the kitchen staff. He came back and cleared the table next to us and did not communicate anything to us. I asked, is that a yes or no? Without looking at us he said hold on. He finished clearing the table and walked away. He came back 10 minutes later and without saying a word he placed the bill on our table and left. Luckily we had the cash to cover it and a tip. As we walked away he rushed over, likely to make sure we weren't skipping out since he had been so rude. Will we go back? Uh no. This could have been handled much differently leaving us wanting to try them again.
